Other than I apparently created a 3! point question for the QotD... 😎(I didn't think it was THAT difficult...)
It was very misleading though 😉
Hrm, if you're serious with that comment, can you PM me with how it was misleading? (Also anyone else?) I'd like to make sure I don't repeat that error as I want to come up with more 'scenario' QotDs.
Never stop learning, even if it hurts. Ego bruises are practically mandatory as you learn unless you've never risked enough to make a mistake.

I'm not serious, hence the smiley 🙂
It was a great QotD, but I answered without thinking it through (on a 3 point question!!!).
Not enough caffeine...

Just double checking. 🙂 You could have simply meant it was meant in a friendly manner, too. Humanity has been known to strike me.

Hey folks. so what's I miss?😀
A LOT
What happened to your website?
I was trying to get a script from there a week or so ago and it was no longer available.
Sorry, Jason. Sadly it's been down for years (ever since I was sick). Almost of of my scripts should be on SqlServerCentral somewhere though (the good ones anyway). If you still want it let me know which one and I'll see if I can locate it.
Here is the thread with the broken link.

I am interested in your SB demo.

SQL Bits XII has finally been announced http://www.sqlbits.com/.Wooot!
Next problem, what do I submit?
Almost posted last night that site was up. But apparently we shouldn't have noticed until the official emails this morning. 😀
Week before I am in Jersey - so weekend is still free! Yippee!
I'm going to picking your brain in the next month or so about vacation spots, I'm planning to take a off week after Bits, Wales looks close. Never been there.
Isn't everything close in the UK? 😀

Pfff, than you have never been in Belgium before 😀
If we wouldn't be having the most traffic jam congested cities in the world, you could drive through the whole country in a couple of hours.

(Near hysterical laughter.)
I just looked at that thread and was shocked that my name appeared in it as if I had compiled copious expertise in Service Broker. :w00t: Then I remembered that Barry was giving me an identity crisis those many years ago. :hehe:

Depends on your definition of close and the road network. Roads in the UK are far from straight and as they tend to follow the lay of the land and in places go around pre-existing property. The general UK opinion I would say anything over 90 minutes is a decent drive and the journey wouldn't be made on without some planning around time.
Great Britain (UK minus Northern Ireland) itself is about 8 hours east to west and about 16 hours north to south depending on your location and traffic. Telford being fairly central is advantageous.

Jack you will just have to submit to SQL Bits and find out for yourself! 😛
Although I will be driving up about 3/4 of it in a day, so not really helping to disprove you there 😀

Well, it's a *bit* less than that...according to Bing maps (other mapping services are available) a journey from Margate in Kent to Land's End (which is about as far east and west as you can travel) would take a smidge under 7 hours, and one from Portsmouth to John'O'Groats (south to north) would be 13. Land's End to John'O'Groats would be 15 hours, and that's about as far as you can possibly drive in a single journey on the UK mainland.

Bing maps probably doesn't account for all the traffic jams and traffic lights. 🙂

Where I am currently working has the idea of a Town Hall meeting for all the perms.
Last year that meant less than a dozen people were left on our floor.
It was pointed out to me earlier that there is a meeting at the moment. I hadn't noticed mainly because only about 10 people have gone! Hadn't really got it to my head how many roles have be outsourced since Christmas.

That's what I was going to say. I double checked on google maps and allowed the extra on purpose so as not to give a false impression. 🙂

You can drive through the whole country in a couple of hours. I've done it (by avoiding cities). Germany to France.

Actually if you go from the the Norfolk coast, which is pretty much as far east as you can get, to Land's End, it's about eight hours east to west. I think Top Gear did a challenge trying to drive it between dusk and dawn.
